Dean Smith appointed Leicester boss until end of season with survival belief

Dean Smith says he can keep Leicester in the Premier League after being appointed as manager until the end of the season.

Former Aston Villa boss Smith, who has been out of work since leaving Norwich earlier this season, will oversee the final eight games of the campaign following the sacking of Brendan Rodgers last week.

The Foxes have lost both games since Rodgers left, leaving them second-bottom and in real danger of dropping into the second tier.

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Dean Smith as the Club’s First Team Manager until the end of the 22/23 season
